Matsunosuke has developed "PITACO," a magnetic attachment that allows visually impaired individuals to temporarily secure their white canes and use both hands freely. This solves the long-standing problem of where to place white canes, contributing to improved daily convenience.

We endorse April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is Matsunosuke's dream.

When using a white cane, there are times when it's difficult to use your hands.

・When washing hands ・When paying at the register ・When operating a smartphone

The white cane used by visually impaired individuals is an essential tool for walking. However, there are situations where it can be a bit inconvenient when you want to use both hands. People try to use their hands by tucking the cane under their arm, leaning it against a wall, or putting their hand through a strap, but all of these methods are a bit awkward.

Also, when sitting down, it can be difficult to find a place for the white cane. Placing it on the floor or folding it up adds a small amount of hassle.

Matsunosuke thought that if there was a mechanism that allowed the white cane to be easily and naturally "worn," these inconveniences could be reduced.

Therefore, they developed "PITACO," an attachment that can fix a cane with a magnet.

It can be attached and detached with a single touch, making it immediately usable when needed and easy to remove. By attaching it to clothing or a bag, the white cane can be held in place even when released, allowing both hands to be used naturally.

Examples of PITACO use
